    I had just finished cleaning my rabbits and was walking back to my car, shotgun slung over one shoulder, bunnies over the other as I approached my car when a police car stopped next to me.

    The officer rolled down his window and greeted me and explained that he had stopped as he saw a car (mine) stopped in the entrance to a field and wanted to make sure everything was ok, but could see that all was well now. He asked how many I'd taken today, wished me a good evening and drove off. All very polite and cheerful from both sides. 10/10 encounter.

    But this has me wondering now, theoretically, what if he had asked me to surrender my firearm temporarily? Or had I been stopped on my way to/from my permissions and after informing an officer I have firearms in the car, they request to check them? Surely a non-firearm trained officer cannot be allowed to take control of a firearm? Handing firearms to people without a licence is surely illegal right?

    I have no objection to cooperating with police in their lawful investigations, after all I'm not doing anything wrong, but what should you do when stopped by police in such situations where these requests are made?

    Theoretically id have told him to go forth and multiply. Unless you are causing folk alarm or distress theres no reason to surrender (assuming you have your paperwork). Chill out and enjoy your sport (Whilst you can😕)

    How old have I got to be to have a mid life crisis ? 

    I think I might have entered it 

    Any 'because i'm worth it' impulse buys yet? Thats my benchmark. I've a yard full of them 😂

  3. If anybody fancys making their own cider theres enough kit here to keep you busy this autumn. Its made me some fantastic cider and some wonderful vinegar :-) but I've not made any of either for the past few years due to lack of time and sadly have to get shot of my gear due to lack of space. A very rewarding hobby that I started after a thread on PW some years ago. Where does time go eh?

    A fag packet calculation yielded a bought new price of over 600 squids. £150 buys the lot. Will need airlocks, the odd seal and bungs but these can be bought cheaply online. Buyer collects. I'm in South Kent. Any questions please feel free to message me. 

    Thanks for looking

  4. It might be a gamble, but UKIP are worth a punt, if only to make my vote heard.

    Some gamble!! I wouldn't bet on those odds but I will bet that loads of kippers bottle it at the ballot box. Well, those have any sense left anyway.

  5. Quite right too, I wear a dirty white hi tek boot with a tongue that could pass as a cricket pad on my right foot and an orthapedic grey brogue (a top hard-shoulder find) on my left. But you won't catch me wearing a suit when I'm out shouting at lampposts, no siree, if a too-big brown leather jacket and dirty-shiny adddas sport slacks is good enough for me why not Cameron? I blame Europe.

    You rock that look dude, not many can carry it off on a driven day.

  6. I remember my first trip down the marshes with the auld fella. Stand here, keep quiet, dont touch that, stand here now , shhhh. etc etc . it was whack. I just wanted to go fishing but the old man said it was boring. The irony wasn't lost on me even at that tender age. Its the other wsy round now, i keep trying to get him out shooting but he'd rather have a dangle.

  7. If labour get in again we are screwed. UKIP voters will be directly responsible should this occur. If you want change you will get it but not as you want it. this thread will be dredged up as evidence of those that made it so for PW eternity.
